What is the UK law on one person attaching trellis to their side of a fence which is owned by their neighbour?

Answer 1

If the fence definately belongs to the neighbour then attaching something to it without permission would be criminal damage if say you nailed it,it would be no offence if you say hung it with brackets projecting over the top edge but they would be entitled to remove it off their property provided they did it with care and didnt deliberately damage it or be reckless as to whether it was damaged or they could be charged with criminal damage.Why not just ask them and avoid confrontation?

Answer 2

Whilst you bought the house, the finance tuition most commonly required you (or the seller) to have a survey of the property achieved. You will have to have as a minimum one reproduction left over from the closing. The Plat of Survey will have to point out the entire corners of your lot, as good as displaying the fence (whether it is to your property). It should also exhibit any recorded easements for drainage or utilities. Assess the Plat to affirm that the fence is yours; examine together with your nearby building division involving constructing & zoning specifications for fences.
